Toker A, Salzer L. Pediatric liver transplantation - Ethical dilemmas in a disabled patient. Pediatr Transplantation 2011. © 2011 John Wiley & Sons A/S. Abstract: Allocation of medical resources, especially resources with absolute scarcity such as organs for transplant, is a difficult task. Medical, surgical, and ethical considerations should be evaluated. In solid organ transplantation, ethics committees are the gate keepers that deal with moral philosophy when moral values are in conflict. Often, no good solution to a dilemma in these medical ethics exists. Our case presents split living liver donation for retransplantation in a mentally disabled girl, with few medical ethics principles at stake. |
